# Wallpieperi








A desktop live wallpaper app made for  Mac. 
































Status: Alpha 




Due to the app being an alpha build, expect bugs and not to be as sharp as other applications.









# Installing

> 🚧     Please note that this is an alpha release. Also the higher the quality the higher cpu usage. 1080 seems to have the best quality/performance ratio but i still need to test it. 🚧 

1. Download the latest release from releases page

2. Extract the zip file

3. drop the app into your Applications folder

4. Open the app

5. Enjoy!




# How to use

### Uploading and changing background







# Features

- Accepts multiple media files (mp4, webM, png, jpg, gif)

- Can chose between 60fps, 30fps (might add more options later)

- Media type can have audio (Might add option to add custom audio later)

- Supports all screen resolutions (Tested on 4k, 1080p, 720p screens)

- More to be added

# Roadmap

- Detect multiple monitors and create a wallpaper for each one (different instances) ✅

- Improve image quality of the wallpaper ✅

- To add an optional particle system

- To be able to reproduce background music on the wallpaper ✅

- Cursor interaction

- To be able to detect whether the user is using an app and stop the wallpaper to save resources (like battery) ✅ 

- To be able to launch the app at startup (Optionally) ✅

- Make it laptop friendly (reduce battery drain and all of that) ✅






All of those points are planned but can be changed or removed in the future. Depending on the time I can spend on the development of the project and the need of features.


Ideas are welcome, please if you have one leave it on discussion or make a PR with a change you want to add, if it's cool it's gonna be added on a future version!



# Keep in mind

- Enabling the app to run at startup might have a negative impact on battery life.

- Using power save mode increases the cpu usage since it disables hardware acceleration.

- The app is still in alpha and might have bugs.

- In case you want to build from source, you need to download my fork of active-win and compile and change the main executable of the node_module active-win folder to the new one. if you just want to make new features theres no need for you to do that.

- I'll try to improve the sound feature but it's not a priority.
